Mum Guilt is a bitch sometimes when I have to miss her Harvest Festival so I can be at a meeting, but then again, I could wax lyrical for days about how kind, funny and joyful my girl is so 🤷♀️

Just a reminder, if you're seeing crochet on clothes at fast-fashion stores and you're not paying a lot for it, the person who did that crochet is not getting paid a lot either. There is no machine-made crochet, unlike knits. A human is doing that with their hands.

In case it wasn't clear, academia is crumbling under the enormous flood of AI-generated content. The latest victim is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) flagship EU postdoctoral fellowships. The number of submissions has more than doubled in the past 3 years.
Hannes Cools@hannescools.bsky.social · last mo.The academic grant system is extremely broken. 21.627 submissions... That is how many proposals the Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships received this month. Two years ago it was 10,360. The budget did not move. The success rate went from around 16% to something close to 7%.

From research idea to research article: reflections on two JIL workshops – Information Literacy Website
Research can sometimes feel like something other people do. In our day-to-day work we might have questions, notice patterns, or have ideas about how to improve practice. However, turning these questions and ideas into a piece of research fit for publication can feel like a much bigger step.

This is not a joke: I have a serious bibliographical question about something I'm writing an article on, and this question can probably only be answered by someone who has worked in plumbing for at least 10 years (ideally someone who has been in the industry even longer). Does anyone have a contact?
